Try this plant based soup recipe that is so easy, so tasty and so healthy. Give the soup a little drizzle of garlic infused olive oil before serving. Also, this soup can be enjoyed both hot and cold.
Ingredients;
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- ½ white sweet potato or 1 red potato, chopped into ½” pieces
- 2 cups artichoke hearts**
- 32 ounces vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups tightly packed kale leaves, deveined
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- Pinch nutmeg
- Himalayan Pink Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a pot or Dutch oven. Sauté onion until it begins to turn translucent, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the sweet potato and continue cooking until sweet potato is soft, stirring frequently.
- Add the artichoke hearts, chicken broth, cayenne, nutmeg and salt and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
- Add the kale leaves and cover the pot until kale leaves have wilted, about 1 minute.
- Pour the soup into a blender with the almond milk and blend until smooth. This will likely need to be done in batches.
- Strain the soup into the same pot you used for cooking in order to catch the strands of artichoke hearts.
- If serving the soup hot, pour it back into a pot and heat gently, stirring frequently until the soup is to desired temperature. If serving chilled, pour the soup into a sealable container and refrigerate until cold.
- Serve with crusty bread and a drizzle of oil on top.
Notes
*You can also use regular olive oil plus 4 cloves of garlic. Saute the garlic with the onion **Artichoke hearts are available fresh in many delis and they are typically marinated in oil and garlic.. You can also use canned or frozen artichoke hearts.
